It can catch you out e.g. if racing so drivers try to keep the revs above the dip.

It is not unlike turbo-lag.

google & you'll get plenty of info.
torque dip is around 3200~5000

some people say you can't feel it but that' complete bogus to me .. I can definitely feel it.
mathematically one should too if you look at it percentage wise, its a large chunk.
